KVM: x86: Advertise PREFETCHIT0/1 CPUID to user space



Latest Intel platform Granite Rapids has introduced a new instruction -
PREFETCHIT0/1, which moves code to memory (cache) closer to the
processor depending on specific hints.

The bit definition:
CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=1):EDX[bit 14]

PREFETCHIT0/1 is on a KVM-only subleaf. Plus an x86_FEATURE definition
for this feature bit to direct it to the KVM entry.

Advertise PREFETCHIT0/1 to KVM userspace. This is safe because there are
no new VMX controls or additional host enabling required for guests to
use this feature.
